The beauty lies in the structure and spaces created by the these delicate yet whimsical lines.

This tablecloth makes a sophisticated addition to any dining table.

Wash at up to 60 degrees on a regular cycle (avoid “eco” or longer cycles).Never soak for longer than 10 minutes and avoid using Vanish and other whitening products.Tumble dry at 70 degrees for a soft effect, and 90 degrees for a more crushed finish.We don't recommend ironing the full cloth in order to keep the linen’s lovely crumpled texture intact, but we do like to iron the edges to give it a sharper edge.
